Hello folks! Merry Christmas! I've taken my 4Runner up to AR (5 hours) and have found every single issue to be found in this car. I had a ton of fun playing with 4WD in the mud. My only regret was leaving the windows open going through puddles. First and foremost, after coming back, I've found my tiny rear squeal on the passenger side to have become an annoyance. Are these the bearings acting up? I do not know if these have been serviced, I only just recently swapped the front axles, shocks, and ball joints so I wouldn't be surprised if the rear bearings are factory original.


My other issues are (but not limited to) the speedo jumping to 0 then rebounding when using blinkers (occasionally). A google search has concluded the grounds need to be cleaned. Lastly, when in 4WD something squeals when I'm disengaging or engaging the clutch when its wet. Maybe a drive shaft? 2H doesn't produce any squeaking whatsoever. The other issues probably need to have a dedicated thread, but

 

If your noise is only in 4 wheel drive look to the front axle .

CV axles or front drive shaft maybe the front differential
